Ukraine's Anti-Corruption Agency Launches Free Educational Games for Youth

Integrity Education Resources from the NAZK

According to НАЗК: The Integrity Office of Ukraine's National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NAZK) has released a new suite of free educational resources for children and young people. These interactive materials, which incorporate game-like simulations, are designed to foster a culture of integrity, build an understanding of government processes, cultivate intolerance towards corruption, and encourage responsible attitudes toward elections through hands-on activities. This initiative is part of a broader effort in Ukraine to build civic values from a young age in the wake of the 2014 Revolution of Dignity.

The materials are hosted on the Study.NAZK educational platform. Their development was led by specialists from the NAZK Integrity Office in collaboration with the Corruption Prevention Department and education experts, including Vitaliy Chepys, Svitlana Poklad, Svitlana Zabarovska, and Tetiana Savenkova.

Available Learning Materials

The resources include fairy tales for elementary school students, such as:

• Light Over Chesland
• The Secret of the Golden Bridge

In addition to the stories, children can access interactive games, including:

• Service in Action
• The Choice
• Elections: Learn and Practice

For those seeking a deeper dive, more advanced game-based and training materials are offered, such as:

• The 'Mission: Elections' Quest
• The 'Me and the State: How to Properly Address Government Bodies' Training

The launch of these resources represents a significant step in nurturing integrity among the younger generation and contributes to building a conscious society with zero tolerance for corruption.

Equipping youth with knowledge about integrity and state processes is a crucial aspect of forming a conscious civil society.

The educational tools developed by NAZK can serve as an effective instrument in the fight against corruption, as fostering intolerance to this phenomenon must begin early. Integrating gaming elements into the learning process makes it more accessible and engaging for children, which could substantially increase their future engagement in civic matters.
